Have you painted your chasis yet? I am not sure if I have any photos around, but on Scott Coyles car we put 1" X 1 1/2" .120 wall tube in place of the sheet metal c-channel between the rear outrigger and the cowl tube. Then we added two more tubes perpendicular to the main rails out to that tube. The front one was drilled and a spud welded in for his fifth belt and the outer tube had inserts welded in for bolting in an inner cage and door bars. Not original but made it alot more rigid and added a bunch to the safety of the car. His car was built for racing only so we wanted to make it as safe as posible with nothing visable that couldn't be unbolted. Easy to do on an unpainted frame. If you would like I could draw something up.
